Two white supremacist groups have stepped up recruitment efforts in Nevada, starting chapters following the National Alliance's battle last year over an anti-immigration billboard near the Las Vegas Strip. Critics say emergence of the pro-Nazi National SocialistMovement and a group called the Southern Nevada Skinheads is tiedto the billboard that read, "Stop Immigration - Join the NationalAlliance." Cynthia Luria of the Anti-Defamation League says the billboard--quote-- "has become an icon in the white power movement." The Southern Nevada Skinheads says it has organized a few eventsin Las Vegas, including passing out fliers on Martin Luther KingJunior Day. Anti-immigration fliers purportedly from the National SocialistMovement were spread in Fallon, about 60 miles southeast of Reno,last month, prompting complaints from more than a dozen residents. The fliers decried Mexican immigrants and advocated roundingthem up and sending them back to Mexico.
